Synopsis as reported by the agency
The Police Training Commission has suspended Officer Parks' license and as such is deemed unfit for employment with NJDOC as Correctional Officer.

He was issued a 2-count complaint summons for violations of N.J.S.A. 2C;30-2 Official Misconduct, a 2nd degree charge, and N.J.SA 20:28-7 Tampering with Public Records, a 3rd degree charge. On May 25, 2023, an Order was entered by the Honorable Terrence R. Cook, JSC, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Burlington County, NJ. Indictment No: 20-10-00059-S. The terms of the order are that SCPO Parks forfeit any and all public employment and be forever disqualified from holding any office or position of honor, trust or profit under the State or any of its administrative political subdivision pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:51-2.

No confident pension match found. This officer's record shows a termination; a terminated officer would not have an active PFRS/SPRS record at this agency, which is one reason no match may exist here. This site links a pension record to a named officer only when the name and the exact employing agency both match a New Jersey Treasury record. Other general possibilities include insufficient vesting, a role not covered by PFRS or SPRS, a deferred or vested status not reflected in a current snapshot, or a data-matching limitation.
